Hi ~ , m NS# ■ VALUABLE MACHINES SCATTERED ALONG TRACK. When an axle broke on the rear ear of a freight train near Cincinnati recently, and the car was overturned, the resulting wreck strewed along the track a number of the new automobiles with which the train was loaded. The photograph shows the odd sight presented when the single track was cleared of the wreckage, valuable autos and freight-car trucks being scat tered on both sides of the right-of-way. Some of the autos sustained little damage; others were wrecked beyond repair.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. ENGINE IS UNIQUE Drivers Under Tender as Well as Under Cab and Boiler. HAS SIXTEEN DRIVING WHEELS First Machines of This Type, Used on Steep Grades in North Carolina, Made by Using Discarded Locomotives. The latest thing In locomotives has drivers under the tender as well as under the cub and boiler. This dispo sition makes it possible to equip a single engine with no less than 16 driving wheels. The set of eight, un der the tender, has its own pair of cylinders. In fact, the first machines of this type, used on the steep grades of the Southern railroad In North Car olina, were made by mounting tender tanks on the machinery of discarded locomotives. Says a writer in Kuil way and Locomotive Engineering: Relieved Congestion. “Between Asheville, N. C., and Hnyne, S. C., there lies a stretch of track 01) miles long on the Southern railroad, of which Mr. J. Ilalnen Is general superintendent of motive pow er and equipment. . . . This sin gle-track line had been much congested until Mr. Hainan worked out a design of engine which has a much greater tractive power than the type of engine formerly employed. The plan is brief ly the mounting of tender-tanks upon the machinery of discarded locomo tives. There is a 4 per cent grade three miles long on this division, and the new engines built by the Southern have to encounter this grade as part of the day’s work. Used Scrapped Engines. “The first of the new type of duplex engines was put upon the road about a year ago, and it proved to be so sat isfactory that seven such locomotives have been turned out of the company’s shops at Spencer, N. C. The number of trains has been reduced, though the total tonnage is considerably greater, and the speed of the train’s run has been Increased. To effect this satis factory result it was not necessary to buy new cylinders, wheels or running gear. The parts used were taken from scrapped Mogul and Consolidation en gines, so that the expense involved was reduced to its lowest terms. “The scrapped engines tarnished the frames, cylinders, wheels, axles, side-rods and valve-motion complete. By the use of specially designed car riers, the tanks of Mikado tenders were mounted where the boiler of the engines had formerly been. With ?,- fil'd gallons of water and 12 tons of coal the auxiliary engine carries a weight of ITC.QCX) pounds as a maxi mum. the minimum being about 100,- 000 pounds.” This duplex engine has a drawing power of 04,000 pounds, as against 46,- 000 for the single engine formerly used. Steam Is enrried to the cylin ders under the tender by flexible piping. Tlie main or forward engine runs on superheated steam and the rear on either saturated or super heated steam. TO EXHIBIT OLD LOCOMOTIVE Mississippi, One of First Engines Used in United States, Was in Serv ice 54 Years. The locomotive Mississippi, built In England" in 1534 and operated on the Illinois Central railroad 54 years, hns arrived In Chicago. The little engine, which is hardly 12 feet long, was one of the first used in the United States. It was bought for service on the old Natchez and Hamburg road In 1393. Later it was turned over to the Bal timore and Ohio and became part of that company’s exhibit in the St. Louis fair in 1004. President Markham of the Illinois Central heard of the historic engine and It was found in the Baltimore and Ohio yards at Martinsburg, W. Va. Space in the Twelfth street station probably will be fenced off and the locomotive will be placed there as a permanent exhibit. Douglas, Ga. PEARSON TRIBUTE, NOVEMBER 20,1917 AUTOMOBILES STREWN ALONG RAILWAY TO KEEP TRESPASSERS OFF Now That Bomb-Plotters Are Seen Behind Every Culvert, Railroads Keep People Off Tracks. Now that guards are everywhere about and bomb-plotters are seen be hind every culvert, some railroads show signs of making an effort to keep the public off their right-of-way. Signs are fcefng posted in places where the railroad’s land has served us a high way for years, perhaps for genera tions. Not improbably the railroads may soon start a big attempt to exclude the foot passenger from their tracks. He has been their bane for ages. lie travels on the line without paying; indeed. Instead of paying, he or bis survivors frequently seek to collect damages from the railroads for hurts sustained by fulling afoul of the run ning stock. Nothing would suit the roads better than to be delivered of trespassers. Now Is obviously a favor able time to move in the direction of such n desire. Privation of the free-born Ameri can’s supposed inalienable right to walk a railroad track would not do much serious damage to anyone. In many places It might be necessary to provide short lengths of genuine high way, so that workers should not find themselves deprived of an easy route between home and factory. In addi tion to temporary measures, a perma nent system for policing roads and punishing trespassers is required. Above all there must be a popular realization of the enormous cost in life and limb that the reckless habit of walking along the railroad track en tails upon the country.

RAILROAD MEN ARE PRAISED Pick of Industrial Workers of Country Have Developed Natural Resourcefulness. You seldom see a sullen face among railroad men. You seldom meet with one who thinks confusedly, and never with one who goes about his work sleepily. The railroads have had the pick of industrial workers of the coun try and they have developed natural resourcefulness into second nature, in dependence Into that fine flower which understands the worth and necessity of obedience, says Washington Star. In sending 12.000 railroad men to France as the first contingent for serv ice overseas, Washington will not merely meet pressing requirement in France, but also have a representation warranted to make the Impression we desire to form. In imagination, we can see those strong, capable, clean-skin ned, clear-eyed men landing, see them take to their tasks with a vim, mak ing French and English railroad work ers hump to keep up with them.
